The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"Despite repeated claims that CAIR is a benign, mainstream civil-rights advocacy group, the truth remains that CAIR has a long history of financing terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and al Qaeda. Since 9/11, 15 CAIR leaders have been criminally convicted or implicated in terrorism investigations—including one convicted for violating sanctions of Iraq and another for financing al Qaeda and the Taliban." Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R.)


Quote II

“I don’t think I know a single judge who has allowed religion to interfere with their jobs. “I think if you start the day on your knees, you approach your job differently from when you start thinking that someone anointed you to impose your will on others.”Justice Clarence Thomas


Quote III

America is a land that bans books, has political prisoners and condemns people to a form of internal exile where they cannot have a job or maintain a normal life. Ten years ago, if someone said Americans would lose their jobs because they liked something on social media, only the aluminum foil hat types would have believed it. Such things were considered impossible just a decade ago. In the 1980’s, these were the sorts of things that happened in the Soviet Union, which was why communism was considered evil. The Z Blog

Interesting times we live in.

A female high school student has been expelled from her school after she kneed a boy in the groin while he was blocking her from leaving the girls bathroom. The boy, along with 6 other male students, entered the girls’ restroom at North Pole High School in Alaska to protest a selfie taken in a boy’s bathroom by a student transitioning from female to male.

The male students intended to do the same in the girl’s bathroom, that was occupied by the girl. The student expelled and the transgender student were not connected in any way, but the female student who was blocked from leaving felt threatened, which is why she used self-defense.

As us 29 year olds approach Medicare and Social Security eligibility, we must pay attention to the little details.

Long-time readers may recall our series of interviews with attorney Kent Brown about his lawsuit against the Fed's "because Social Security officials claim that folks must forfeit their Social Security benefits if they withdraw from (or choose not to enroll in) Medicare."

[ed: Original and follow-up posts are here and here]

One would think that since neither of these are in any way legislatively connected, this would be a non-issue.

One would think that, but one would be incorrect:

"Is there something in the original Medicare legislation that dictated this? Surprisingly, the answer is no ... Nothing in the Social Security or Medicare statutes state that one must take Medicare in order to receive Social Security payments (or vice versa)"

So how did this come about?

Two words: Washington, DC.

The festival, held in St. George, featured Tom McCoskey capturing his seventh consecutive title in the grits eating contest, besting competitors including his own sister.

My father and I didn't always get along. But as I hit the awkward age of 13 or 14, not a boy, not a man, there was one thing that we enjoyed together on Saturday nights. AWA Wrestling. Boy am I glad I didn't know this then.

What is professional wrestling? Without a well-written story, it’s just two adults fighting each other in scanty clothing. With a great story though, wrestling is nothing short of magnificent. It’s an art just like music, movies or any other television show. Wrestlers are actors who have diverse personalities and play the part extremely well.

There is so much going on behind the scenes, much more than just a few moves, a finish, and a winner to each match. One of the first things people learn is that everything that plays out on camera in wrestling is predetermined with storylines being composed like a play written for a large audience.

Have you ever gone to the theaters in anticipation of a movie and been completely disappointed because it was not written well? The same could be said for a wrestling match.

Tonight's doping scandal. NFL? No. NBA? No. MLB? No. Hope you're sitting down. Bridge. Yes, bridge the card game.

When a top athlete is caught using performance-enhancing drugs in an elite competition, like the Olympics, it's big news. But humans will make a competition out of anything, and even the most obscure tests of skill and talent have their cheaters. Even the card game bridge.

Early 2019 delighted the world with news of the world's #1 Bridge player, Geir Helgemo, being suspended after getting caught doping. Of course, if you read a little deeper, you'll see that Helgemo was using two drugs to increase his testosterone, which increases your Bridge skills in ... no way whatsoever? Maybe his strategy involved intimidating other players with his sudden influx of chest hair?

They aren't even good liars.

It turns out that trusting the word of a con artist might not always be the best choice.

Following Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli's decision to plead not guilty to the charges facing them in connection to the college admissions scandal on Monday, a source close to the 54-year-old actress tells ET that she feels like those who orchestrated the scheme misled her about the severity of her involvement.

"[Lori and her husband] claim they were under the impression they might be breaking rules, but not laws," the source says. "They feel they were manipulated by those involved and are planning that as part of their defense."

The FCC is looking for naughty people.

With ever more streaming options and set-top boxes than any one person could ever possibly need, it’s certainly much more convenient to cut the cord than ever before. But if you’re looking to cut corners with the devices you’re using for those services, you may want to reconsider.

The Federal Communications Commission last week issued an enforcement advisory to remind consumers and distributors about its policies around unauthorized set-top boxes and streaming devices—namely, don’t even think about it.

The ONT Musical Interlude



Born on this day: April 17th 1934 - Don Kirshner

I'm envious that he could build the car of his dreams. His long range planning on the other hand makes him tonight's Genius Award Winner 1st Runner-up

Super cars have captured speed enthusiasts since they were first introduced. These mountains of metal and horsepower are works of art in their own rights. I mean, when was the last time you saw an ugly super car? These speed machines capture our imagination with their beauty and raw power. They are meant for two things, to go fast and looks amazing. So when Ken Imhoff first saw the Lamborghini Countach in the movie Cannonball Run, he found himself falling in love with the legendary car. This started on him on a journey that culminated 17 years later when he unveiled what he had kept under wraps for so long. What he made with his own two hands is so amazing that I almost couldn’t speak. You seriously won’t want to miss this.

Cursing and shouting at students. Genius Award Winner.

A substitute teacher in Kentucky has been arrested for allegedly endangering middle school students by teaching while drunk. Yes, forget drinking and driving, now it’s drinking and teaching. This according to 32-year-old Brook Ellen West, who I want to say was having a very harsh morning.

West was arrested on charges of public intoxication and endangering the welfare of a minor. Scott County Sheriff’s deputies stated she confessed to the incident after questioning and told authorities that she had a total of four shots of vodka while teaching a class at Royal Springs Middle School in Georgetown.

If this is true, I'll never have to pay for electricity again.Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.


Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind device that can generate electricity from falling snow.

The inexpensive device, which was developed by UCLA scientists, is small, thin, and flexible like a sheet of plastic.

“The device can work in remote areas because it provides its own power and does not need batteries,” said senior author Richard Kaner. “It’s a very clever device – a weather station that can tell you how much snow is falling, the direction the snow is falling, and the direction and speed of the wind.”

30 Have you ever gone to the theaters in anticipation of a movie and been completely disappointed because it was not written well? The same could be said for a wrestling match.

Nothing new. Years, ago, the State of New Jersey tried to force wrestling matches to obey the requirements as boxing matches (having a doctor ringside, etc.). The defense of the NJ wrestling organizations was that the wrestling matches were completely scripted, and therefore shouldn't be subject to the requirements that unscripted boxing matches had to follow.

Because they have brains. Only a total douchebag would try to criminally prosecute this shit ... and those douchebags, themselves, should have their asses tossed in jail for abuse of power and clear proof that they are a danger to society.

Lori Laughlin didn't commit any crimes (other than possible tax stuff, but I haven't seen any charges on that so I'm beginning to think reports of it were erroneous). THey cheated on colleges. Big whoop. The colleges carry out more criminal and immoral stuff, themselves, every single day.

And college coaches lying to the colleges about who they might be recruiting is a problem between the college and the coaches.

What a sick joke this all is. But Lori will be acquitted. Mark my words.

77 I just talked to Bete (pondering)...

He wanted me to let you all know that he is in good spirits and he sounded as such. The guy is an absolute inspiration to me.

He's starting chemotherapy soon and will be able to participate in an experimental medication process that was started by the University of Alabama. (Roll Tide, he said, jokingly, yet sincerely!)

He'll be in hospital at Madison, Wisconsin and is one of eighty-five eligible people for this Four-Medication process.

He will be cycling Three-Weeks-On, One-Week-Off per Month. Usually, they only prescribe one of these medications at-a-time.

After four months, he'll be going in for a bone marrow transplant, perhaps in August.

He just wanted to say "Hello" and let you all know that he is doing "Reasonably, Hopefully Well". He sounds pretty darned good to me.

Prayers-Up for he and his Family, Please.

If she were a prominent conservative celebrity, the persecution of her would be 100x worse.

Our side is finally learning to use Alinsky tactics against these arrogant, entitled pigs. Now is NOT the time to go soft.

We HAVE to learn to think long-game, like the enemy does.

Posted by: qdpsteve at April 17, 2019 10:15 PM (miE9U)


First of all, ALinsky was an idiot. I hate when people praise him as some sort of genius. He was not.

Secondly, Lori Laughlin's case has nothing to do with politics. I don't know her politics and don't care. I am offended by the retarded nature of the prosecution and the twisting of law. There is no reason for this and I would not support its use against anyone. It's just dumb and counterproductive.

Lastly, Lori Laughlin isn't criminally guilty of anything (beyond the possible IRS thing that I'm not even sure about any more). Cheating colleges or on college tests is not criminal. End of story.

This is the problem with kids that age "transitioning from female to male". They do things for attention. They're drama queens. They're not fully baked.

That selfie in the boys' bathroom says it all. He/she wants attention and is not mature enough to make that kind of decision.

Transitioning can be a teenager's version of, "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" And I wonder if some of the adults who transition aren't at the same level of immaturity.

Alinsky's book taught his destructive tactics to a free society.

Most traditional Americans never knew who he was, or why he was destructive to the traditional American way of life.

I consider it a success that regular Americans have made the name Alinsky a joke, and his tactics out in the open for all to see.

Pop, Lori and her hubby are going to jail, over 1 year at least. And now their brat daughter may be joining 'em.

They are not charged with "cheating on a test", they are charged with honest services fraud and money laundering.

The elements of the former charge include paying bribes to officials to facilitate cheating on entrance tests.

The law on this has been hashed out for decades and many people have gone to the Big House for violations of this law.

190 Inadvertently hilarious article by a left-wing journalist on a left-wing San Francisco web site.

You know, California is the Superior State, and is better than all the peasants in flyover country. They are the example we should all follow, as they Resist Trump, Fight Global Warming, Fight Transgender Discrimination, and all the wonderful other things that they do.

Well, as Mark Steyn has noted, the more grandiose the goals of a government, the worse the government gets at performing the basic tasks of government.

In particular, over the last couple of years, the California DMV has been collapsing. The average wait time for the DMV in San Francisco is now four hours (the DMV has appointments, but they fill up months in advance). This left-wing journalist managed to get out of the DMV in Oakland in only three hours, and his description of the experience is straight out of Kafka.

On Saturday I arrived at the Oakland DMV office on Claremont Ave. at 7:45 am, 15 minutes before the office opened. Seventy-five people stood ahead of me in line.
...
It's like taking a number at a deli but without the pastrami sandwich at the end. I was prepared for a long wait. Numbers are constantly called out and posted on an electronic board, but there's no logical order. "G003, G015, B012, F101."

I waited and read the New York Times. My number wasn't called. I read the Wall Street Journal. My number wasn't called. I started reading my novel. Finally, I asked an employee what was happening. She came back to report that I had missed my number and would need a new one.

...

I presented all my documents. But the DMV bar code machine wouldn't read any of my bar codes, including those on my passport and current driver's license. Window 4 lady couldn't even call up my file using my name.

None of this shakes his core belief in government, of course.

P.S. The California DMV has a secret office near the state capitol in Sacramento, solely for the use of state legislators and their staffs, so they don't have to wait in line.

196 According to Pamela Geller, French sources have this to say about the fire: The last workmen left at 6:30, the fire started at 6:50. The workmen are not allowed to have any sources of ignition, no electricity, no flammable liquids, no torches, no welding. The work on the facility had not started, all that was being done was erecting the scaffolding. Very had to see how that could have caused the fire.

221 Concerts: Shibumi and I went to Las Vegas last weekend to see Aerosmith start their "residency" at the Park MGM, as she was getting paid to write about their show (the technical aspects). It was about 120 db in the hall for most of the show, and we both had earplugs on (I am losing my hearing). I guess it was a good show, but then again, Steven Tyler is 71 years old.
Shibumi has seen Aerosmith about 5 times, and thought this show was actually pretty lame. They showed a video for about 35 minutes, and most of the audience was bored after about 10 minutes of this.

We saw Elton John last September (great FREE seats) and while the show was musically good, it was actually kind of bland. Elton is 70 something years old, and just sits at the piano and plays. Not the wild guy he used to be.

They are not charged with "cheating on a test", they are charged with honest services fraud and money laundering.


Yes, I know. You wrote this before. They are bullshit charges. She and her husband, probably, will be acquitted because they will be able to seat at least one sane juror.

The elements of the former charge include paying bribes to officials to facilitate cheating on entrance tests.

Oooooh. Cheating on entrance tests? That's awful. We need the cops to handcuff those people.

Those are private tests.

The law on this has been hashed out for decades and many people have gone to the Big House for violations of this law.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at April 17, 2019 10:40 PM (f1Vqw)


Yeah ... yeah ... People are jailed under all sorts of questionable charges. Martha Stewart. Scooter Libby. Just to name a couple of high-visibility ones. That doesn't make what they did actual crimes - they were not. Just because some sadistic prosecutor, piece of shit judge and dipshit jury find someone guilty of total crap doesn't mean anything.

Along the same lines I coudl cite hundreds of people who have actually murdered and not gone to jail for it - even when the cops/feds knew. But so what? It doesn't matter and has nothing to do with this case.

This case is bullshit. The wire charges are bullshit. The prosecutor - the whole team - ought to be arrested and jailed without a trial. That is what they deserve.

Cheating on a test is not a friggin criminal act. Get a grip.

260 @211 Coast Guard has had major involvement in (real) wars. WWII, for sure. Not just in coastal defense, either. Not exactly sure why, but they were involved in amphibious operations, both oceans, I think.

--------------------

As sub-chasers, I think. A lookout spots something suspicious in the water that *might* be a wake, and sends a Coast Guard sub-chaser to check it out. The draft on the Coast Guard ships was too shallow for torpedoes to work. So if an actual sub was there, it would have to either surface to fight the sub-chaser (not smart if the sub-chaser was part of a larger task group), or dive to where it was too low to target any ships in the group. Either way, it's no longer an immediate threat.

Across the street, another E-6, Master Shipfitter.

Though both have pulled Law Enforcement tours, they're both primarily ship's compliment, or in Navy parlance: "sailors".

Both border on Special Forces fitness levels, and one of 'em is sufficiently armed and equipped to repel boarders, even though his house is 2 miles from Station.

Sea Duty for either of 'em is no joke. They deploy often, and far.

And yes, Coast Guard squadrons were vital players in defeating anti-ship, anti-swimmer obstacles in WW-II, as well as sub-chasing duties.

Coast Guard losses in WWII and Viet Nam were all out of proportion to their size as a Service.

NOTHING but respect for 'em.

308 >> Cheating on a test is not a friggin criminal act.

Of course it's not, and no one is charged with it.

Let's see. Case 1: Kid cheats on a high school history test. Not a crime.

Case 2: Parents of kid bride teacher and principal of the high school to give the kids answers to test.

Do you see the difference between these two? Do you think the latter would fall into criminal category?

Well, I am sure if Mama can pay for the crooked test takers, she can pay the tuition. My point is this: crimes of this nature, by default, are only going to be done by the wealthy, some of whom may be famous. Only they have the excess simoleons on hand to pay all the crooked officials.

And wealthy, crooked people like that give wealthy, honest people a bad name.

321 Do not get one of those alternate Medicare plans that covers everything. They cover everything because you are then given a list of doctors to choose from. These doctors did not graduate anywhere near the top half of their class. And if you live in a small town there may not be a doc who accepts that crap.
Posted by: Braenyard


That depends on where you live. In my area very few doctors are in private practices. Most medical practices are owned by the same corporations that own the hospitals. If I get a Blue Care Network Medicare Advantage program, almost all doctors in my area are on their lists. But that isn't true in some states and some cities. Blue Cross Blue Shield is a big part of the medical insurance industry in Michigan, and that may be why pretty much all of the doctors in my area are on their list.

You have to do your homework.
There are 3 main ways to take medicare:
regular medicare
medicare with gap insurance
medicare advantage insurance through a private insurance company

There's a booklet that explains the options and it is important to read it.

Some of that video of their rescues is unbelievable. The conditions are seemingly not survivable.

Yet, the next time a call goes out, they do it again.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at April 17, 2019 11:17 PM (f1Vqw)


Uh ... no.

For a private college the grades they give out are nobody's business. They can do whatever they want with the grades ... as they all do.

In public universities the difference is that it is not legally required that you go to college ... as it is for elementary/secondary school, and it is not part of the operation of the state. Yes, it's a state institution but there's a vast difference between K-12 (which the state mandates for people) and university level.

At the university level cheating is not a crime. It is an infraction that the college should handle - and the college should kick cheaters out (which they don't do, anymore, BTW).

In summary, let me just leave you with one counter-example to the entirety of your argument:

Stephen Glass graduated from Georgetown Law School AFTER he was thrown off of New Repubic for publishing totally made-up shit as fact. AFTER.

Great to hear my dude. We're doing alright all things considered. Wife is looking for another job, youngest is teething and going through hell, eldest needs some leather skin. All in all we'll get there. Oh and going through the first anniversary - a month ago - of my moms death so it's been rough on some fronts.
Seriously sometimes I wonder how I'm holding up somewhat sane. In the past three years I did this; house, wedding, high high risk pregnancy and moms death basically a month from my sons premature birth date.

We're not talking about the alleged tax fraud. Everyone is agreed (that I have seen) that if any of them did that they should suffer the same fate that anyone else who defrauded the IRS suffers, which is a huge fine, ridiculous interest, and possibly jail time.

But that is not the issue, here. I don't even think the tax charges are part of the case - I don't know but I haven't heard much about that. We are only talking about the bullshit "cheating a college is a criminal act" crap.

And we're talking about colleges that don't have any respect for actual law, themselves - colleges that hold kangaroo court hearings for guys accused of rape and even rape-rape and make a mockery of any semblance of logic, fairness, due process or anything you might find in the Constitution. Those are the sort of institutions we're talking about, here. And I won't even go into the tremendous bullshit that comprises the whole admissions process and selection criteria, to begin with.

And releasing a video of her biting a pillow after being sold for a pack of smokes.

Posted by: anchorbabe fashion cop at April 17, 2019 11:54 PM (ufFY8)

406 Good evening everyone! My daughter had a frightening experience Sunday. She and a friend were bathing suit shopping at Nordstrom's Rack in the KC area. Nordstroms corporate policy changed all dressing rooms to unisex about a year ago and the store she was shopping at thought it would be ok to change the policy without changing the dressing rooms themselves. So they're the old-style open-at-the-bottom-and-top dressing rooms. You can imagine what happens.

There was a man in the dressing room between my daughter's room and her friend's and he filmed the friend trying on swimsuits. She realized what was happening, and told my daughter who switched rooms with her, put her phone on video and waited. Once the guy stuck his phone under the panel again she yelled "you're busted!" ran out and started pounding on his door while cursing at him. The manager and security arrived, the guy stayed in the room long enough to delete his pictures . . . but not long enough to put his pants back on. Police were called but they couldn't hold him til PD arrived, so they got his license plate and they have him on store security cameras.

Anyway, when my daughter was telling me about this, I said 'thats why you can't let men into women's dressing rooms!' She of course, responded with the line that the popular culture always says - but a woman could have filmed her, too! Sure one could, I say, except that they don't. You don't have to worry about a woman in the next dressing room because it literally never happens. This caused an argument because - even though this doesn't ever happen - she's been lead to believe it just must. Uggh.

The smoke was no biggie; just the sauteed mushrooms staying the pan too long. But the big overhead ceiling light was out, all three "100 watt equivalent" LED bulbs of it. The ceiling fan part of the fixture still works, and is running right now to clear the smoke. The little pull-chain switch for the light must have croaked. I had rewired all three sockets of the fixture las Fall when I installed the new bulbs, and I was pretty careful to do a safe job with the wiring.

I just looked up the commercial bribery statutes of SC. It includes a lot of private pay-off.

Basically it's crime, both ways, to pay or offer some benefit for an "employee, agent, or servant" to act in some way that goes against his employers interests, or gives me some benefit I wouldn't otherwise have from that employer or outfit.

That involves purely private activity.

452 PoP -- you know that many types of "private bribery" are illegal. There are many state laws on the books that make such private bribery illegal.

There are laws about all sorts of things. Most of which are useless or even destructive.

I'm sure you wouidn't be fine with going to a doctor who bribed his way through medical school. Or hired any other professional who did the same.

I already don't trust medical school admissions because of affirmative action. I'm lucky in that I know my doctor, personally. Otherwise, I'd want to see their standardized test results and their medical boards. Barring that, doctors are best judged by their actual records and as much word of mouth as you can get.

But the point is that I don't trust the admissions of any schools, these days. None of them. They're all full of shit and more interested in getting the right bodies to satisfy their bean counting than pretty much anything else. And I know all about university hiring and admission committees. They are the biggest jokes you can even imagine. And more offensive than anything you could dream up.


And about your example. Academic misconduct is not a crime of itself. But there are crimes that involve academic misconduct. This Aunt Becky case is one of them.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at April 18, 2019 12:00 AM (f1Vqw)


Lori Laughlin didn't commit any crimes with respect to cheating the school. Period. None.

The only ones possibly guilty of admissions crimes are the schools, themselves, and for their everyday work.

And, BTW, everyone knows that lots of kids used to do bullshit just to pad their college application with all sorts of teams and groups. There were people who would only show up for the group yearbook photo. Happened all the time. Maybe we should throw all of them in jail, too? Mail fraud (application sent over the internet across state lines and through the mail) and honest services fraud.

Come on, publius. Admit that this is all bullshit because you know it is and you know that I know that you know it is. Because it obviously is.

Meh. I don't buy this argument. I understand it but I would never support its enforcement. As bad as colleges are with their bullshit admissions I wouldn't want to start forcing them to take people for some reason that someone else decides. What I do want is for federal and state money to stop flowing to their tuition funds, pronto. Dead stop. No cash. The kids' parents can pay for them or the kids can work their way through school (as many used to do) or the colleges can puke up some money from their endowments to pay for kids they really want.

States differ, but they only get so many preemptory challenges. A good defense lawyer would be able to get many booted for cause if they don't think the potential juror would decide favorably. There are all sorts of ways, especially these days, to whip up some "bias" that disqualifies the jury candidate. And the prosecution won't get all of the good ones off, I would bet. The defense just needs one.

You can see that if this thread were the panel it would be easy to find one who could be pretty much assured of not delivering a guilty verdict for any of this bullshit.

The limits are basically on, "I don't like the cut of this guy's jib" type of striking.

They are wire fraud and mail fraud. They tried to defraud the universities by misrepresenting themselves in order to obtain admission. It's no different than the case we are talking about.

But I have no problem with that stuff, so far as "criminality". You are the one who wants to lock people up for cheating on college admissions and having coaches tell admissions committees that someone is being recruited (with the admissions committee, evidently, having no responsibility to do any actual due diligence).

So, if you want to lock one up then you should want to lock them all up. We're going to need a few thousand new jails for these dastardly criminals. They're everywhere!

Not a real pretty bike. I loved riding in high school (my Dad bought me a motorcycle about 15 mins after I mentioned I would like to have one- he is an avid rider. I did not have the space at colleg to bring it with me and some time during that period, I started noticing how many raging asshole moron there are on the road you have to ride on. My Dad nearly getting killed in a wreck probably did not help.

Funny side story: When I got to the hospital in Louisville where they had airlifted my Dad, he was conscious (6 broken ribs, cracked vertebra in his neck, and a punctured ear drum. Oh and a punctured lung.) His complaints were:

1) That he got to ride in a helicopter- and he was unconscious.

2) He immediately started worrying about the condition of the bike.

I've had pretty much all LEDs for a while. I've had a few go out. Some of the fancier ones (little kitchen overheads) had two go out within 4 months. The LEDs were still good but something blew in the circuitry. The company I bought them from on Amazon sent me a new 4 pack to take care of it, so ... all okay so far.

The regular bulb LEDs seem to have been going for a few years with no problems. One or two might have gone, but that is to be expected.

The light from the LEDs is still a little bit suboptimal, but it's close enough that I'm happy with the setup and they seem to be lasting pretty well, in general.

525 Ignorance of the law is not a defense. If I break the law, and didn't know it was a crime, tough luck. Intent means did I intend to do what I did.

Suppose I didn't know it was a crime to walk up to somebody and knock them in the head. If I intended to hit them the head, then I'm guilty. Now, if I accidentally hit them in the head, not intended to, that's a different story.

526 Regarding Aunt Becky, based on what I have read in the MFM, it appears she knew at a minimum that what she was doing was shady at best. I don't know if her offspring was directly involved in doctoring photos regarding being in crew (I think that was her), but if she was, then she, and Aunt Becky, knowingly contributed to defraud the admissions people.
Is it a crime? I don't know if there is a statute that addressed that shit.
Regarding the money changing hands, I can easily see her running afoul of the IRS if she claimed a charitable deduction. (This aspect of the story makes me laugh with incredulity - she is bribing people to get her kid into school, and is greedy enough to try and get a tax benefit from it. What. A. Dumbass.)
Is 40 years excessive? Hell yes.
A part of me want to see her be made an example. Maybe that will cause people to rethink the excessive prison time. Another part of me wants to see her go free because of the excessive piling on the prosecutors are doing.
In any event, I believe she knew she was not doing the right thing, and I'm tired of seeing the privileged skate in this two tiered system.
So, yeah, I want to see a little pain be extracted.

There was a case a few years ago of an African American mother who went through hell because she was accused of using someone else's address (a relative or friend's) to get her child into a better public school. I dont remember the details but I believe that she served time.

I am also fed up with the left giving illegals and their kids free or reduced college tuition while the legal American born kids have to pay exorbitant fees in out of state tuition. To top it off states like California make it almost impossible for out of state American kids to qualify for in state tuition.

I am sick of the double legal system. Let these dweebs rot in jail.

I was looking this up. "Peremptory challenges" are the ones that both sides are limited on. This is striking a juror without having to state a reason.

The other is to strike for cause, and there is no limit on those.

Now, jury nullification. Juror(s) don't agree with the law, think it is unjust and therefore refuse to convict, even if they think the defendant broke the law.

Disagreement with the law is a valid cause to strike.

So, Pop, if the prosecutor asked you if agreed with the law, and you truthfully said no, then he could strike you for cause. Provided the judge agreed, which he most certainly would.

"I think these prosecutors have better things to do than charge this case" would be another cause to strike.

When someone wants to get on a jury to decide one way or another they don't announce it to the court.

If you've ever done jury duty and seen a panel voire doired then you know that pretty much everyone lies. They ask about biases. THey ask about whether people trust cops/lawyers more or less than civilians ... they ask all sorts of things and you can tell that most people are lying out of their asses much of the time. There are some questions that you know people don't understand but they answer what they think is proper (or what they heard someone else answer). And judges like to come down on people who answer truthfully - they like to accuse them of trying to get off the jury! It's funny, actually.

But one person is going to slip onto that jury who will not convict. Chances are very, very good. And the prosecutors know this.

Further, when it comes to crunch time I think the schools might start getting some cold feet about having to go through discovery with their admissions procedures. I don't think they want anyone to know what they really do. They might get scared enough to try and waive off the prosecution - and, it all being nothing but political bullshit, the schools could pull a lot of weight in this part.

Totally different cases. Vavic works for the school.

Same for that Smollet loser.

Not even in the same universe. He deserves to be charged for the actual crimes he committed. He actually broke the laws that they are bending and contorting to apply to Lori Laughlin et. al. And the state attorney needs to be dragged in, too. Probably the judge, also - as I assume the judge had to have something to say about the quid pro quo "forfeit bail for freedom" crap.

They are all cut from the same cloth. They do not deserve to be called Americans.

593 So Lori Loughlin is going with the time honored "Someone told me it was OK to break the law and that I wasn't really breaking it anyway" defense that has worked so well in the past. I have to say - I am not sure who she is using as her criminal lawyer but she should fire them. This si the kid of repose to a prosecution that pisses off prosecutors, juries and judges and guarantees a conviction (or that the prosecutor will require jail time in any plea) and a heavier sentence than would be given under a plea. If she thinks that the jury is going to say "oh you lied and broke the rules to screw over honest people and their kids from getting into a good school - but it's OK because you didn't think it was illegal" she is going to be in for a rude awaking.

From reading, the defense Loughlin's laywers may try is "entrapment". She didn't know what she was doing and was tricked into doing this by this by the guys running the scam.

She was just trying to do the best for her daughters, and fell victim to these criminals. That's apparently what they're going to do with.

This defense is a long shot indeed. Near zero chance of working. But, if she's going to trial, they'll have to try the best they can come up with, and this it.

Entrapment is an "affirmative defense". This means the burden of proof shifts to the defense. In an affirmative defense, you're saying, "yes, I committed the crime that is alleged, but I had this mitigating reason for doing it". Entrapment is one of those. You have to prove they entrapped you.

Self-defense is an affirmative defense against homicide charges, for another example. You're admitting you killed 'im, but you were defending yourself.

"brats"? Come on.

Of course, it would have taken all of 20 minutes for the admissions board to check if the kids actually were rowers.

And if they were admitted as rowing recruits but then didn't bother even trying out for the crew team after they started, why didn't the university say anything then? That sounds really fishy ... as if the university knew about that part of the scam (in addition to all the scams that the admissions folks were running, themselves) and decided not to say anything after it was made PAINFULLY OBVIOUS by the sports star recruits not even playing those sports!

This whole thing is laughable. The only criminals here are the university scum and the lowlifes in the prosecutors' offices. The prosecutors are the worst sort of people. They are the lowest of the low. Threatening the kids because the parents won't bow and pay tribute to them. Those prosecutors are total dogshit. These are tactics that are appropriate when dealing with real, serious criminals. To use these sorts of tactics against joke perps, like in this laughable case, is beyond the pale.

Those prosecutors deserve to impoverished, jailed and have their families impoverished and jailed with them. They are the worst people in this whole thing and are, essentially, a bunch of insane psychopaths who will do anything to advance their pathetic careers by one half rung. Total scum.

This is defrauding the state. Why would you think I would have an issue with this?

Of course, if the university gave in-state tuition rates to an illegal and then charged an AMerican citizen higher rates then I would consider that a crime and jail all university (and state) officials involved in that).

She stole money from the state/university. This is what she did. SHe got the students the lower in-state tuition when they weren't state residents (however the university or state figured it) and the kids paid her part of the difference. That is THEFT. That is her crime. Basically she said, "I can lower your tuition by $5,000 if you give me $2500." Why would I not consider this a crime?

662 The first thing I thought of was that these briberies on the part of Hollywood and coach types was because THEY as non college grads wanted their kids at the school. In reality, a pseudo famous kid at a "lesser" school ( and honestly as a So Cal person USC as a status symbol of anything other than rich parents boggles my mind) would probably be treated as way way more of a prince or princess. So this is about the parents mostly.

When I heard some of the kids comments, they were pissed that their parents were forcing them into college, let alone a certain college their parents thought was great.

This whole thing was born out of the parents (Non college educated or non status college grads) seeking status via their kids --- educational Munchausens if you will.

Oy. publius. Come on, man.

As the Stanley Kaplan sock above shows, there are all sorts of legitimate businesses whose only claim is that they can help your kid get into a school he wouldn't be able to otherwise.

And leave the charity/tax stuff out of it. We already stipulated to that area being clearly illegal and a crime. That isn't what we're talking about.

As to cheating on the SAT. It's a private test. That's between the ETS and their workers and the test taker. It certainly shouldn't be any criminal act. If the ETS can't safeguard their tests then they can't perform the single function their company has and they should fold.

This should all be between the schools and the students and the ETS. Not the friggin criminal courts. And MOST CERTAINLY this doesn't rise to the level that prosecutors start threatening the kids with bullshit charges for decades in prison (interestingly, only the kids of the parents who didn't bow and prostrate themselves before the holy us attorneys). These prosecutors are out-of-control psychopaths. Frankly, people like that having any power scares the living shit out of me. They are scum. Powerful scum who take joy in destroying people.

690 >> As to cheating on the SAT. It's a private test

They cheated on the tests by paying bribes to crooked proctors.

Now, right here under SC state law, that would be a violation of the commercial bribery statutes, which many states have. It varies, but most states have something similar on the books.

Why is it a crime. The proctor who takes the bribe is defrauding his employer. (and everyone else who takes the test in good faith).

Read the federal "honest services mail fraud" statute. That's what they're charged with. In a nutshell it's paying bribes to get someone to deprive another of his "honest services".

In a sane system the proctor would be the only one exposed to any real criminal charges, and even then no reasonable person would want too much public manpower put on pursuing this. It is best handled by the company firing the proctor and seeking civil damages.

But that's how a sane society would handle something like this.

This is jut a private test. IT's not a car driving down the road. It's not a government entity. It's a private test by a private company. The colleges are the only ones who are even possibly defrauded by problems with this test and they don't even really care. Lots of colleges are trying to minimize use of the SAT because it doesn't allow them as much leeway with the "diversity" as they desire.

Then she had a series of movies made for Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel ('The Garage Sale Mysteries', which were fun); Hallmark goes for the 'squeaky clean' movies. When this scandal came out, HMandM pulled all her movies already airing and stopped production of movies she had that were in the works. She put other people out of work with her bullshit, and I'm not talking about just the other actors but all the low-level support staff involved in producing movies.

In my non-lawlerly opinion, the only reason the Feds got involved was this scam crossed state lines, using the mail and banking system as well. Mann Act, anyone?

I will say that I'm not in the 'this case is bullshit' camp. I consider this case part of 'The Swamp', and cleaning it up is not a bad thing.

768 In my non-lawlerly opinion, the only reason the Feds got involved was this scam crossed state lines, using the mail and banking system as well. Mann Act, anyone?

I will say that I'm not in the 'this case is bullshit' camp. I consider this case part of 'The Swamp', and cleaning it up is not a bad thing.

Also something I've never seen mentioned regarding who was hurt by all this. I'd say any student who earned their way into any of these universities, worked hard for their degrees and now have those degrees tainted through no fault of their own.

The Feds got involved because 1) the AG wanted to grandstand on his way to the Senate, and 2) they set up a fake charity to launder the funds thru and avoid taxes.

774 Of course, if you read a little deeper, you'll see that Helgemo was using two drugs to increase his testosterone, which increases your Bridge skills in ... no way whatsoever?
____

Well, when causation is unknown, correlation is likely on the table. It is a fact that at the highest level, men dominate contract bridge. And innumerable chess masters have pointed this out (including Helen Sobel, on of the few exceptions.)

It's usually attributed to greater competitiveness and endurance. And those do correlate with testosterone, or at least, being a (real) male. (Yes, endurance. Long sessions daily in a tournament, under stress, can wear people out.)

OTOH, at the social level, it's generally thought that the women are better. Which does sound like the IQ distribution. But it's easy to see why someone would assume it would help.

For my money, bridge is the greatest game there is.

Marc has been heavily engaged in the study of philosophy from an early age, and is currently working on two other book-length projects, including a witty dialogue on arguments for and against the existence of God, and a series of essays on the epistemology of practical motivation."

They are accused of setting up a fake charity. The largest one on the planet, the Clinton Foundation gets a free pass.

Jon Corizine illegally used funds to shore up his bad trades, he got off scot-free.

"The blood lust of the ruling class for whites not obediently walking into the void, is now undeniable. Their response to the 2016 election was to declare war on white America."
